102. It is written, “Moses spoke, and God answered him by voice,” the voice of Moses, that voice which he grips, ZA, with which he supersedes all other prophets, who are gripped only to Malchut, and not to ZA. And because he grips that voice, ZA, more than everyone, with that voice which is the upper degree, he would say to Israel, “the Lord your God,” which is the degree called Shechina [Divinity], who is within Israel, below ZA, to which Moses grips; happy is he.

103. Moses said the curses in the Torah of the priests, in the book Leviticus, from the mouth of the Gevura [the Creator]. Moses said the curses in Mishneh Torah, in the book Deuteronomy, from himself. Can it be that Moses would say from himself even one tiny letter in the Torah?

104. Not from himself, but from his own mouth, which is that voice to which Moses was gripped, ZA. For this reason, those in the Torah of the priests are from the mouth of the Gevura, Bina, who is called “upper Gevura,” and those in Mishneh Torah are from his own mouth, from the mouth of the degree to which Moses was gripped more than all the faithful prophets, namely ZA.

Hence, wherever it is written “your God,” it is because it indicates Malchut, below ZA, and in “Hear O Israel,” it is written, “our God,” since it implies Bina, above ZA, to which Moses grips.

105. People should indeed guard their ways, so they engage in the work of their Master and are rewarded with eternal life. there are high sections under the throne of the holy king, Malchut. The Mezuzah is connected in that place of the throne, Malchut, to save a person from several kinds of judgments, which are poised to awaken people with them in that world. The Creator did similarly to Israel, giving them the commandments of the Torah to engage in them and be saved in this world from several accusers that people meet each day.
